FEELING | cautiously hopeful for the future of this country. Watching the inauguration last week and seeing sane tweets from our new president (and his press secretary) in the last few days make my heart so calm and happy.

If you’re like me, you frequently forget how delicious pesto is and how quick and easy it is to make at home. I am here to remind you because we’re recently “re-discovered” pesto for our meal planning. It’s a tasty, vegetarian dish that you can whip up in no time. We like to add…
Five Things Friday: just five things I’m thinking about or things that made my week, or things that I otherwise feel like sharing. I was on my bi-weekly grocery run this morning and listened to NPR (as I usually do in the car) and heard “President Biden” a few times in the conversations. I cannot…
This week, I am linking up with Kookyrunner and Zenaida for Tuesday Topics and we’re talking about what I learned about myself during the pandemic. Uh, we’re going deep, guys.
